Psalms

56:1Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.
56:2My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
56:3When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
56:4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
56:5All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
56:6They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
56:7On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
56:8Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll--are they not in your record?
56:9Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
56:10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise--
56:11in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
56:12I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
56:13For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
